Go along with him to the mysterious swamps of southern Florida, the grassy savannas of Africa, the fringes of the Gobi desert in Outer Mongolia, and the high deserts of the American west to feel the excitement of the chase and the beauty of the country.

At times, it's a story of sadness, yet hope for all wild creatures that reside just beyond that wild horizon.
